sounds great! I use Data.Map/Set a lot. Although I guess 
one reason for their popularity is, well, their popularity -
as they used to ship with ghc. And there never was a universally
accepted collections "framework" (type classes) 
that would allow to exchange implementations easily.
Even with such a framework, it might not be that easy.

for the transformations mentioned there:
instead of applying them manually, 
one would want to have them provided by the compiler?
I guess that's a question for a follow-up paper.

(I generally avoid/hate to rewrite my programs systematically,
"just" for performance reasons.)
